for Marge...you are loved

___________________________________________________


Swift blade of truth cuts deep it’s plain
what can defeat reason’s harsh refrain
The fight is long, a stubborn test of will
faint chance at best to counter logic’s chill

At first small hope did buoy the valiant heart
but fated force beat back the gallant start
Retreat and counter desperately the blows
can I prevail unscathed, my Lord but knows

Fight on with guile, I do not choose to yield
nerve of iron sustain me in the field
Is this the end, I dread to look and see
rank sweat and tears flow hot and cover me

A tattered knight sways drawn, in painful daze
dull swoosh of broadswords slash the battle craze
Great noble Sire of conflict, comfort me
this effort does not alter destiny

Though this day debased and harshly treated
The body maimed, the spirit bruised, defeated
Do not send vile white standards now to me
I seek not lowly compromise, but victory

the woods are lovely, dark, and deep, but I have promises to keep, and many miles to go before I sleep...Frost

pegasus:

Marge will be so touched by this when she gets to read it. We are all praying for complete healing!
